I'm not sure specifically as there could be many different 'darkknight' web novels. It might be about a dark knight character, perhaps his adventures, battles, or his journey through a dark and mysterious world.
I don't know the exact main characters as I haven't read it. But it's likely to have the dark knight as a main character. There may also be a sidekick or an antagonist like an evil sorcerer or a rival knight.
One horror story is when a project manager didn't communicate well with the team. He just gave orders without explaining the overall goals. As a result, the team members were all working in different directions. They wasted a lot of time and resources on tasks that were not really relevant to the final outcome.
In a particular software project, the project manager left halfway through the project. There was no proper handover, and the new manager had to start from scratch to understand the project's status. The development team was already working in a chaotic way due to the lack of proper management in the transition period. This caused miscommunication among team members, missed deadlines, and a final product that was full of flaws.
Once, a project had a tight deadline. The project manager didn't communicate well with the team. He just gave orders without listening to the team's concerns. Halfway through, we realized the initial plan was unrealistic. But he refused to adjust. In the end, the project was delivered late, and the quality was far from satisfactory. Clients were furious, and the company lost a big contract.
Poor communication is a big one. If the project manager doesn't communicate clearly with the team, it's like a ship without a compass. Another is unrealistic deadlines. When there's not enough time allocated for all the tasks, it's bound to go wrong.
A good hook sentence could be 'In the dead of night, the old mansion on the hill seemed to breathe, its dark windows like malevolent eyes watching every move.'
Poor communication is a common cause. When team members don't communicate effectively, misunderstandings happen. For example, developers might misinterpret the requirements from the clients or other team members.
One common element is lack of proper resource management. For example, hiring the wrong people or not having enough resources. Incompetent leadership also plays a role. A bad project manager who doesn't listen to the team or make good decisions can doom a project. Additionally, scope creep is often seen in horror stories. The project keeps expanding without proper control, making it impossible to finish on time.
There could be stories about mismanagement of funds in the Wounded Warrior Project. Some reports might suggest that a significant portion of the donations didn't go directly to helping the wounded warriors as expected. For example, high administrative costs were a concern in some cases.
